The Little People, Big Dreams series from Frances Lincoln is a series telling the stories of well known women, and the dreams they had as children, showing that children can one day achieve their dreams, no matter what they might be. They cover the hardships these women faced, but keep the stories appropriate for the readership. Each story also includes a short biography with photographs of the women.

Amelia Earhart's story tells how she always wanted to fly, took lessons, and broke records, being the first woman to reach 14,000 feet, and the first woman to fly across the Atlantic - at first with a pilot and a mechanic, and later, solo. It also covers how she formed the Ninety-Nines, and organisation that supported female pilots. We also hear of her attempt to fly around the world, and how she and her plane disappeared.
